As you can see in the picture, in the case of run gold jewelry, a very thin gold coating (0.05% or less) is usually applied to the base metal by electroplating, which is often of uncertain composition. Gold-filled jewelry, on the other hand, has a truly measurable gold coating (approx. 5%), which is applied to a brass base in several layers using pressure and heat. With careful care and proper use, they retain their beauty for a long time. You can read more about proper care and careful use here (link) . In general, it can be said that gold-filled jewelry can also be worn by people with metal allergies, as their skin does not come into contact with the base metal due to the thickness of the gold layer. Of course, it happens that the gold coating is damaged, in which case the brass base can be exposed. This can cause allergic symptoms if the person is sensitive to copper or zinc, which is quite rare.
